4 Lesson in Ethics.

Hundreds of persons in Boston, To-

hours on a cold forenoon to obtain tick
cts for some lectures to be given by
James Russell Lowell. Again and again
did late corners attempt TO gain place

with success, but oftener with deserved

A handsome woman. richly dressed,
and endowed with that mysterious some
thing which the fashionable call 'sstyIe, -
walked up to gentleman in the line, say
ing, with the air of comforting a favor,
'Will you kindly allow me to step in
before you, sir?'
He hesitated; it was a tryingposition,
and he was about to yield when n little
blue-eyed woman behind him inter
posed.
''Do you think, said she, politely,
but very firmly, "that would be quite
fair to the rest of lis, madam Some of
us have been standing since 7 o'clock.

James Jackson, the famous State detec-
tive, resides in Sing Sing, and is generally
in attendance at the prison. His duties
are to examine carefully the face of every
convict as he enters, and to scrutinize
every visitor in order to prevent any dis
charged convict from seeing his pals.
Occasionally he has to make long jour
neys in pursuit of runaway prisoners or to
identify criminals convicted in other
States. He never makes a mistake; if
once he looks man in the eve he will
know him under any disguise, as he tells
his man by the look of his eyes. Once an
escaped convict had his nose pared
down one-third, but Jackson detected
him at once, notwithstanding this remark
able change of feature. Mr.. Jackson
is about feet inches in height, about
35 years old, of light and sinewy build,
with black hair and piercing black eyes,
and is altogether remarkably handsome.
He knows about 10, 900 criminals, and it
is simply wonderful that he can distin-
guish the features of every one. On his
long journeys he eats very moderately
and always takes one Brandreth pill at
night. When much fatigued by the jolt
ing of the cars on his tiresOme trips he
uses two Allcock's Porous PIasters on
the small of the back, which give him
renewed vigor and quickly relieve him
of all WEAKNESS. These are the only two
remedies he uses, and he attributes his
vigor and remarkable health to Allcock's
Porous Plasters and Brandreth's Pills.

WITHOUT INVITATION.
An Unceremonious Call Upon
Family of Digger Indians.
from the Salt Lake Tribune.1

While dashing furiously along I sud
denly felt myself sink into the earth to
my arm pits. At the same instant [
heard down in the ground the shrieks
of human beings and children.
[ felt hands clutch at my legs and naked
bodies pressing against them. [ utter
ed no sound-T was too much frighten-
ed. [ held my breath and shrank with
in myself. Every instant I expected to
have knife or spear thrust into my
body. My feet were on the ground, and
without knowing what was doing, [
gave strong push with my breast.
Finding something was giving way
I plunged forward and up a steep slope
of two or three feet, when [ found my
self bounding like deer across the
level meadow with great contrivance
of basket work suspended from my hips
and extending yard or more on all
sides. [ looked for all the world as
i'll had donned huge hoop skirt. While
making a mOmentary halt, in order to
disengage myself from the singular
machine hanging upon me, [ cast my
eyes backward and saw an old woman
and three or four naked children scram
bling out of the hole from which l had
Just made my escape. Yelling at the
top of their voices, they dashed away as
fast as their legs could carry them, max
ing for the nearest hills. BY the time
[ had pushed by basket skirt down to
my heels and stepped out of it, I saw
dozen or more black heads emerging
from the earth in my immediate
neighborhood. Seeing the shaggy
heads popping up all about me, Idarted
away at a pace that must truly have as
tonished the natives. [ think [ must
have left the village at least five miles
behind before [ halted I then threw
myself upon the ground too much ex-
hausted to even loan my gun.
''Was it one of their houses that you
had jumped into, uncle?" here asked
a small boy who had been listening with
call his ears.
Yes, boy, the roof of one of their
huts. Yout see the miserable root-dig-
gings frog -sata.s-devils live in holes in
the ground, Just like so many wood
chucks. They make kind of basket
work dome of willow which they place
over the hole and cover with grass and
earth by way of roof, and in hot wealth
er they sometimes strew this roof with
green leaves as an additional protect
ion from the heat of the sun. The one
in which plunged was so covered, and
the framework being old and rotten l
popped through it easily enough.

A Perfect Weld without Fire.

A correspondent of the Blacksmith
writes az follows: 81 never never seen
anything in the columns of your paper
relative to making a perfect weld OF
steel without fire or borax. A job came
to my shop a few days ago in the shape
of two pieces of three-quarter inch
round steel, welded together end to end.
A taper plug of steel was in one end of
a shaft on which corn was running.
The plug of steel was bearing against a
piece of steel in the frame, the object of
this being to tighten the burs. Owing
to loose box on the shaft, the shaft got
to jumping, giving a side motion and
creating friction enough to weld the two
pieces of steel together as stated. The
two pieces of steel were hardened"
1t is not very uncommon thing, adds
the Scientific Press, for steel spindle in
spinning mechanism, when running
at great speed, as it does in a steel cap,
with perhaps little wabbling, to sud
denly stop its motion and become thor
oughly welded to the cup. OF course
this can occur only when the oil in the
cup is exhausted

WHO WOULD BE A BREWERg
He Makes Much Money, but he Has
to Earn Every Cent of 1t.
LFrom the Providence Journa1.l


The New York brewers sold about
1000, 600 barrels of beer i'll 1886, so that
at the estimated profit of 81 a barrel
they made $5,00O,O00. This divided
among the eighty in thip neighborhood
gives $4,000 apiece; but while few
made so little, many made great deal
more-one having sold nearly 400, 900
barrels, and three or four having made
over 100000 barrels or dollars. Many
of them live quite grandly, the mansion
that one has built fronting the Park be
ing one of the finest homes i'll the city,
and of course they don't do any manual
work; in fact, many of them have their
riches forced upon them, and haven't
the ability to do the work of the hum
blest of their clerks. There is college
in town for teaching brewing where four
boys year get that education free. The
business will grow as the country grows
and has grown, so that some OF the grad
yates may be regarded as certain to be
very rich men.
Is this a chance to recommend to
youth to strive for? After long ac-
quaintance with many brewers [ say de-
cidedly no. I would not put boy into
the business nor go into it myself under
even the most advantageous c1rcum-
stances. In many respects their riches
are earned the hardest of any moneys
made in New York This is not said
from temperance standpoint, but be-
cause of the lives the brewers have to
lead and the things they have to do to
make their money. For instance, they
are obliged to drink like the suction pipe
of a steam engine. Whenever a GUS
toner begins business or opens new
saloon or refurnishes an old one, the
brewer must come and spend money like
water and drink like fish. 1t is just
the same when the customer has a we'd
ding or q christening, or takes partner,
or does anything that furnishes an ex-
cuse for inviting the brewer around to
divide a portion of his profits. He
would be stingy if he didn't spend the
money, and disrespectful if he didn't
drink, and in either case he would lose
his customer. Fancy man at the head
of a great business and possessing great
wealth obliged to get drunk four nights
a week to keep his business. True, a
few don't do it, but employ hail fellows
to take their places, yet most of those
fellows had to do exactly that in build
ing up their businesses.
Then, again, the average New York
brewer is at the beck and call of the sa-
loon keepers in many other ways. They
are expected to lend money on every
sort of pretence, to go bail for their Gus
toners whenever they are arrested and
whatever it may be for, to go to
their weddings, christenings, balls,
and to subscribe money for every de-
vice that liquor dealer can invent to
beg for.

The african Expedition.

The main point of the recent tidings
of Emin Bey is n repetition of what was
announced several weeks ago, namely,
that he had visited King Mwanga. From
the now version it appears that he was
not actually driven back in On attempt
to escape to Zanzibar, but after pro
longed visit was refused permission to
pass through. That he had returned to
Wadeliu was already known. One i'm
portant addition to the previous news is
that the messengers sent from Zanzibar
to inform Emin that Stanley was on the
road to rescue him were detained BIZ
Mwanga. This IS unfortunate, rs STAN
ley does not expect 70 reach Wadelai on
its neighborhood before July or August
But there seems to be nothing III tho
news additionally meIancing to Emin &
safety. Had Mwanga wished todestroy
his European visitors he had an abuu-
dant opportunity to do so. The chief
matter of regret is that the heroic Gov
ernor Will not learn as carly as he might
otherwise have done that an expedition
is on the way to relieve him. Still he
must count on the feet that DR.. Junker
has told his story to the world. and will
confidently await the arrival of a party
to rescue.

REFORMED BY KINDNESS.
How the Great Shipbuilder Cured a

John Roach, the late famous ship
builder, believed in the laws of kindness

last there were seventy found guilty OF

Bright's Disease Increasing.

So many obituary notices of the day
contain the phrase, "Bright's disease, D
that the general impression is that the
malady is more common than in former
years. Recent statistics would appear
to justify this belief. In 1871, accord
ing to the New York Bureau of Vital
Statistics, Bright's disease was seventh
in order of fatality. In 1885 it ranked
fifth. Laborers are most subject to the
disease, female domestics come next,
clerks, statesmen, merchants and house
keepers follow. These furnish one
tenth of the victims. The rest are dis
tributed with no special significance
among the other occupations. In sex
the males are in excess of the females,
and three-quarters of all the deaths oc-
cur between twenty-five and sixty-five.
The foreign born population supply
nearly twice as many cases as native
born. Dr.. John L. Maggie, Depu y
Registrar of Vital Statistics, says damp
ness is a prominent cause of it. Infec-
tious diseases or anything that infames
the kidneys, are causes direct orremote

Wood and Bones in a Deep Well.

In addition to bits of charred wood,

ing been brought up from depth OF
800 feet in the artesian we'll which the
Kicks Water Company is drilling, we
have been shown pieces of shells such as
are common along the ocean beach.
These came up from as far down as $50
feet, which depth has now been reached.
These fragments of shells are found in
considerable quantity, and Mr. Kicks
informs us also that two or three pieces
of bone from the skeleton of a bird have
come up. The finding of such things SC
deep in the earth is exciting considera-
bic interest in the community, and the
inquiry naturally arises, How came they
there! 1t seems pretty conclusive that
at some period the strata in which they
are embedded were not below the level
of the sea. At some time those shells
were on the surface, and ON the surface,
in ages past, somebody kindled the fire
that charred those bits of wood; some
time that bird was winging about above
ground. But when was that, and by
what means were they entOmbed in so
